Imaging following shoulder instability surgery depends on the suspected pathology and includes radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or MR arthrography, computed tomography (CT) and CT arthrography. Direct anatomic repair of labral tears usually occurs by suturing the anterior labrum and joint capsule, and the anterior band of the inferior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) to the glenoid rim. Repairs may be perfomed in conjunction with a capsular shift procedure, with tightening of a capacious joint capsule. With MRI or MR arthrography, there should be no separation of the labrocapsular complex and glenoid margin with in intact labral repair. Capsular thickening with an irregular nodular contour is an expected postoperative finding of capsular repair. Comparison with prior MRI studies is of utmost importance to evaluate for retear. The overall accuracy of MR arthrography for detecting labral tears after prior instability repair varies in the literature, but is generally greater than 90%. Granulation tissue within a repaired labral tear may prevent joint fluid or contrast from outlining a persistent defect, resulting in a false negative MR examination. Arthroscopic Bankart repair after recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation may be performed in conjunction with the remplissage procedure in patients with an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion. The remplissage technique transfers the posterior capsule and infraspinatus tendon into the Hill-Sachs lesion in order to prevent engagement of the lesion on the glenoid rim. MRI will show reattachment of the posterior structures into the defect, along with the metallic or bioabsorbable anchor embedded in the trough. Postoperative imaging in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability may be helpful in those who have undergone procedures addressing a deficient anterior inferior glenoid. The Latarjet (also known as Laterjet-Bristow) procedure involves transfer of the tip of the coracoid process along with the conjoined tendon through a horizontal slit in the subscapularis to the anteroinferior glenoid neck. The transferred short head of the biceps and coracobrachialis serve as a dynamic buttress across the anteroinferior glenohumeral joint when the shoulder is abducted and externally rotated. Postoperative imaging of the Laterjet procedure (and modifications of this technique) is aimed at assessing incorporation of the bone block and any recurrent imaging features of instability.
